Q.
An electrostatic precipitator has collection efficiency of 98% for fine particles of a dirty
gas. Its collection area of plates is 50 m² and gas flow rate is 20 m³/s. If the migration velocity of the particles is changed by 0.1 m/s by changing the electric field, what will be the change in collection efficiency ?
[A] 0.05
[B] 0.10
[C] 0.005
[D] 0.001
Answer & Explanation
Answer: 0.005
